"It's not going to work like this!"

That night, Shepard landed in the river valley in the precious OH6 helicopter before the mercenaries could react, and he brought ammunition supplies and two large boxes of Coca-Cola supplies to the mercenaries, after all, in a combat situation, sweets can effectively relieve the mood of the soldiers and give them a moment of mental comfort.

At Headquarters, Hannibal was asking Shepard for advice, and he wanted to adjust his deployment.

"Tell us what you think!"

"The opponent's artillery is the biggest threat to us, at present we have four killed and thirteen seriously wounded, basically caused by artillery, we thwarted their attack on the high ground on the south side during the day, and because of the threat of recoilless artillery, they can no longer send people to attack the high ground on the south side, then tomorrow, the high ground on the north side will definitely be the focus of their attack, I intend to give them the high ground!"

"But then they are condescending and can bomb the mining area directly, isn't the situation more critical?"

"Yes, but this will free our people, the mining area is currently being mined, almost a third of the area is all mined dirt hills, these dirt hills can be used as our temporary defense line, we have the advantage of automatic firepower, in this place and they can see-saw, give them the high ground, the French will definitely deploy their artillery here, and then, we will send helicopters!"

"It's true that they put the field artillery at the edge of the forest, and then ambush the heavy machine gun in the forest, it's really not easy to deal with, if they can pull it out, it's definitely fine, but what about after the artillery is removed?"

"Then it's time for us to counterattack, the mobile team will take the M20 to fight along the main road, we have helicopter fire support, we can seal their people in the high ground on the north side and the mining area to the north, as long as they are covered, those guys will definitely surrender!"

"It's very risky!"

"Yes, if we don't hold it in the mine and are directly broken through, then we can only compete with them in the middle of the mine!"

"So it's worth a try!"

Shepard nodded, Hannibal did say that he was moved, as long as there is a war, the cost must be indispensable, The 5.56mm bullets and 40mm grenades stored by the Shadow Company have been used up after such a day's consumption, plus the personnel's pension and combat allowance, it can be said that Shepard's wallet that has not yet been bulged has shrunk rapidly, and he has tried his best during this time, but he has only made a few million in the hands of the mining company oil company, and if he continues to fight, these millions may have to become hundreds of thousands in less than a month, if the production is broken, he can only go to Yale to get a diploma by virtue of his family connections!

Shepard picked up a bottle of Coke, which tasted as if it had been refrigerated because of the low temperature of the high-altitude flight, and poured a glass for Hannibal, himself, and the rest of the command.

"In that case, I and the Duff detachment will also be sent over, and we will be under your command when the time comes!"

"This, boss, you better forget it!"

"What's the matter, I've also sent guns in the Caribbean, airborne troops ran under guns, and I can run away from the elite airborne troops of the Russians, these mercenaries? He deserves it too! ”

Shepard said unashamedly, so that Plumri on the side suddenly remembered Shepard holding his ass and screaming in the cabin.

And what else can Hannibal say, he can only nod, and then say that he will arrange Shepard to the most important place!

Night is a rare quiet time for both sides, neither mercenaries nor shadow companies have any intention of fighting at night, this thing requires professional training, professional equipment, and most importantly, mercenaries refuse to fight in the dark at night, although they earn money, but also to ensure adequate rest, everyone is shelled during the day, shots, no food or drink, forget it, if you still want to work overtime at night, then pay overtime, and it has to be cash!

As for the Shadow Company, although the PMCs are quite looking forward to Shepard's night battle subsidy, because there are no night vision devices, everyone can only squat in their respective foxholes and fall asleep, as for the vigilance, it will be handed over to the hapless sentinels and wolf dogs.

At seven o'clock the next morning, not long after the sun had risen, the rapid shelling fell again on the No. 1 high ground on the north side.

With a whistle, it was still Uncle Black who took the lead, and another cluster charge after the white man began, and this time François in order to motivate his subordinates, he once again sent a wave of bonuses on the spot, and the mercenaries who got the money immediately showed François what it means to be a master, and after Uncle Black pulled his crotch as expected, the remaining white mercenaries continued to charge with bayonets, even if the bullets grazed their scalps without pause, Hannibal urgently reinforced three squads to the high ground on the north side, Four additional machine guns and three grenade launchers were added to repel the attack, and the mercenary casualties directly exceeded the first day, with twenty killed in this attack alone.

The Shadow Company also added another dead post, a brave machine gunner fired nearly 400 rounds of ammunition on the ground without stopping, and even when he died, his hand was still on the trigger.

And the Shadow Company didn't even have time to evacuate the corpses, because immediately after, the mercenaries began a second wave of attack, François directly sent all the blacks, plus his own men to press the formation, the French and Belgians took turns to attack, under the cover of artillery, and this time the mercenaries even almost attacked the position, but in the end they were driven down because of the lack of follow-up, the mercenary casualties broke through the fifty mark for the first time, and Hannibal was forced to increase his troops again and sent the last reserve at hand.

The Shadow Company's defense has reached its limit, but the mercenary attack has not yet arrived, although the casualties are close to one-third, but François, who is already in a hurry, can't care about the rest, he chose to increase the size at the end, and sent everyone out, while the artillery continues to squander the small reserves of shells, at this moment he is like a gambler, desperate to press all the hole cards, hoping to turn the tables around.

And this time, he seems to have made the right bet!

After the mercenaries successfully paid more than 20 casualties that seemed to be quite slight, they successfully attacked the defensive position of the Shadow Company, and after only ten minutes of short combat between the two sides, the PMCs of the Shadow Company retreated along the communication trench, and the mercenaries still wanted to pursue, but they were forced to stop after being bombarded by the recoilless guns on the high ground on the south side after a few shots.

Now, it seems, it's François going to win!
